Eddie Money is jumping into the reality TV world. He'll star in a 10-episode series for AXS TV.

Production begins today (Thursday) onReal Money, which will focus on Eddie's home life, which along with his wife Laurie, features "eight pets, and five wild and talented children." AXS calls it "as honest and open as it is heartfelt and hilarious, capturing every moment of the family’s unique dynamic as they live, laugh, bicker and rock under one roof."

Eddie says, "We may not be the typical cookie-cutter family, but we have a strong sense of love and loyalty for each other that really shines through. It’s real, and it’s something I think everyone can relate to. We’re excited to share our lives with America, as they join us on this wild ride. I've only got two tickets to paradise, but I'm taking everybody!"

Ann Wilsonsays, “Carol was a remarkable human being. She poured her soul into everything she was -- mother, wife, friend, guiding force, businesswoman and inspiration. Generous, realistic and optimistic, Carol loved completely...so she was loved completely.”

Nancy Wilson adds, “Carol was my beloved Jewish mother, matchmaker, deal maker and a ferocious Sunday dinner baker. Carol was a ball of fire in a very small package. She lit up every room she walked into and couldn't help but dance to the music that surrounded her life. She is now an angel among the angels.”

Seven Tyler's medical emergency in South America was a seizure, according to the Boston Globe.

The paper cites a source saying that it occurred afterAerosmith’s show in Sao Paulo, Brazil Monday night, prompting him to fly back to the U.S. for medical treatment, and forcing them to cancel the last four dates of their Latin America tour.

On Tuesday, Tyler issued a statement saying he was "not in a life threatening condition," but needed to "deal with this right away, and get some rest and medical care immediately in order to sustain and maintain my future performances."

Aerosmith has had numerous health issues over the years. Tyler has had stints in rehab and various surgeries; bassist Tom Hamiltonwas treated for cancer; Joe Perrycollapsed on stage last year during a show with Hollywood Vampiresand has had various surgeries; drummer Joey Kramer has had heart surgery and shoulder surgery, was burned in an auto accident, and sought treatment for a nervous breakdown; andBrad Whitford underwent an operation on his head.

It's hard enough for artists to face audiences looking at their phones while they perform, but The Who faced a far worse challenge atRock in Rio on Saturday in Brazil.

Brian Kehew, a member of the band's crew, has anonline blog. He writes, "There is a zip line to fling audience members across the sky here, not completely unusual, but in this case it goes right across the front of the stage. We’re sure it’s a big thrill to zoom past your favorite band while they play, but it’s damned distracting to the musicians and the audience if you’re trying to play something serious. We quietly requested that it not be used during our set, and they agreed to shut it down."

The Who plays in Santiago, Chile tomorrow (Friday).
